About the Drives tab
The Drives tab in the Activity Monitor displays the status of NetBackup drives on the monitored server. Use the Drives tab to manage drives, device paths, and service requests for operators. Change the status of the drive, clean the tape drive, and perform other operations that you can also perform using the Device Monitor under Media and Device Management.
To view the details for a drive, double-click the drive in the Drives tab pane. For a description of the drive details, click in the Drives Details dialog box.
